The girl belongs to Bale Taroda village in Tanur Mandal of Nirmal district in Telangana.

After the young girl's father passed away due to sickness, the family was battling financial hardships. Her mother also ended her own life by hanging herself, unable to cope with the hardships.

“Our local leaders guided by Dr. Kiran Komrewar met with the child and handed over ₹10 K as immediate assistance. I will talk to the child personally and plan on how we can help her build a safe future,” he wrote on X.

Responding to KT Rama Rao's post, Abhilasha Abhinav, the district collector of Nirmal district, assured on August 18, that the young girl's education will be taken care of, according to official procedure.
